PARIS (Reuters) - Fabien Galthie, the coach of France's national rugby union team, has tested positive for the COVID-19 virus and is therefore unlikely to be present pitch-side for France's opening Six Nations match against Italy on Sunday, Galthie said.

"This morning, I tested positive COVID-19. I am doing well and I have light symptoms," wrote Galthie on his Twitter account (@FGalthie) on Friday.
